Original application .led August 2, 1911,

To all 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE W. BEADLE,

and useful Improvements in Machines for 4 Making Paper Cartons; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to the manufacture of papercartons or vessels, and has for its object to produce a machine especially adapted to close the ends of tubes which have been formed by the mechanism described and claimed in my copending application, Serial lNo. 641,916, tiled August 2, 1911 and entitled Paper carton making machine, of which this is a division.

Heretor'ore the various steps required to make paper cartons have been performed on several separate and distinct machines, such for example, as a gluing machine for applying an adhesive to the paper strips, a tube winder forl winding the 4strips into tubes, a tube cutter' for cutting the tubes in proper lengths, a bottom forming. machiney for making the end closures of the tube, and a spinning machine for securing said closures to the tube. But by this invention and that made the subject of my said application above these various operations are greatly lessened and the cost of the product correspondingly decreased. lThat is to say, in order to-reap the full benefit of the invention made the subject of this application it should be associated with the mechanism made the subject of my said former application substantially in the manner illustrated in the drawings, and whereby a vtube is convolutely wound from a strip of paper so tightly on a mandrel that it may be immediately subjected to a crimping and closing action without dislodging the same, and then through appropriate mechanism immediately discharged from the machine so that all the operations beginning with the original paper strip and ending with the finished carton are continuous, certain and rapid. Further, in order to perform with the maximum economy these continuous operations it is desirable to operate the tube forming and the tube-closing mechanisms Afrom the same Specification of Letters Patent.

source of power, and to build the two mechanisms mto one machine as illustrated. InA

order, therefore, that the machine as an entirety may be fully understood and the exact relation of the tube closing to the tube forming mechanisgi may be rendered clear, I have illustrated both-mechanisms herein.

Referring to said drawings forming a part of this specification in which like numerals designate like parts in all the views Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the right hand side of the machine; Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the left hand side of the machine; Fig. 3 is a front elevational view; Fig. 4. is a plan view of the carton forming end of the machine; Fig. 5 is a plan viewiof the printing and cutting mechanism; Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail front view of the bottom forming and spinning mechanism; Fig. 7 is an enlarged hori- Zontal sectional view of the forming punch and die, and the paper feed; Fig. 8 is a sectional view taken on the line 8 8 of Fig. 7 and showing the bottom punched, formed, and inserted in the carton ready for spinning; Fig. 9 is a side elevational view of oneend of the machine showing the printing and cutting mechanism with the side frame removed for the sake of clearness; Fig.- 10 is an `enlarged side elevational view similar to Fig. 9 but showing the parts in their relative position during the act of printing; Fig. 11 is a horizontal sectional view showing the type frame and guides; Fig. 12 is a. cross sectional View taken on the line 12--12 of Fig. 11;.Fig. 13 is a detail 4perspective -view of the printing frame; Fig. 14 is a de'- tail `perspective view of one of the type clamping slides; Fig. 15 isaside elevational view of the gluing and winding mechanism vwith the side frame removed, and also showing the winding roll drive and a mandrel in winding position; Fig. 16 is an end elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 15 looking from the left; Fig. 17 is a vertical cross sectional view taken on the line 17-17 of Fig.A

15; Fig. 18 is .ai horizontal cross sectional view taken on the line `18---18 of Fig. 15;

Fig. 19 is a detail perspective viewy of one of the paper guiding fingers with its'operating mechanism; Fig. 20 is a detail perspective view of the vcarton ejecting vmechanism and 'spinner driving cam; Fig. 21 is a detail .view showing the carton being held forming mechanism scribed irst.

by the safety latch in its ejected position; Fig. 22 is a detail view of the paper guiding racks showing the position they vassume while' gluing; Fig. 23 is an enlarged detail view showing the mandrel incased in the winding and ejecting sleeve, and also showing the spinner; Fig. 24 is a horizontal cross sectional view of the parts shown in Fig. 23 with -a carton and bottom inserted therein ready for spinning; Fig. 25 is an end view of the mandrel, andwinding and ejecting sleeve, and showing the mandreland forming plate removed; Fig. 26 is across sectional view taken on the line 26-26 of Fig. 24; Fig. 27 is a side elevational view of one of the wedge guides; Fig. 28 is an end elevational view of one of the wedge guides; Fig. 29 is a detail view of the spinner; Fig. 30 is a detail view of the mandrel and forming plate; Fig. 31 is a detail plan view of the mandrel expanding and contracting cams; Fig. 32 is a side elevational view of the parts shown in Fig. 31; Fig. 33 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 33-33 ofl Fig. 32;*Fig. 34 is a diagrammatic view lshowing-the working ofthe complete machine; Fig. 35 is a ldetail view showing a convolutely wound carton; Fig. 36 is a detail sectional view of a carton showing a bottom inserted therein; Fig. 37 is a detail sectional view of a carton showing a finished bottom' formed thereon; and, Fig. 38 is a perspective view of a finished carton.

rlhe general operation of this machine may be understood from the diagrammatic view shown in Fig. 34 in which paper from the roll 36 is rst severed intov suitable lengths to form a convolutelywound carton, while a suitable legend is printed by the means 47 on the paper before it is wound and in the right position for it to appear at the proper place on the outside of the finished article. The printed strips of paper are next supplied with glue and wound as at A into tubes, which are transferred to the point B, then to position C, then to position D, where a suitable mechanism punches out and forms bottom closures from the paper carried by roll 155 and inserts these closures in the endsof the tubes. The tubes with the closures in place, are next transferred to position E where the closures and tube are subjected to a spinning operation to firmly fix the closures in the tube, and the finished cartons are inally ejected from the machine at F. These various mechanismswill now be described in detail, and their relations one with the other will also be pointed out.

In order to make clear the exact relation of the tube closing mechanism to the tube the latter will be de- Y, Referring to Fig. 2, power may be supplied by any suitable means as bv a belt to the pulley 8, mounted on the shaft 7, carry-- ing thepinion 6, meshingwith the gear 5, mounted on the shaft 4, carrying the pinion 3, meshing with the gear 2, carried by the main power shaft 1, which latter distributes power to the various parts of the machine. The shaft 1 also carries the intermittent gear 9, meshing with the intermittent gear 10, mounted on the shaft 11, carrying the bevel gear 12, meshing with the bevel gear 13, carried by the shaft 14, which operates the p ress for forming the bottom closures, as wlll appear more fully below. f On the end of the shaft 1 opposite to that carrying the gear2, is the gear 15, see Fig. 3. rlhis gear meshes with the gearlG, and through the same operates a Geneva mechanism performing an operation and of a construction to be more fully described below, and said gear 16, through the shaft 17, operates a bevel igear 18, meshing with `the bevel gear 19, carried by one end of the shaft 20.

Ylhe shaft 20 extends the entire length of the machine, see Figs. 1 and 3, and has lon its other end the bevel gear 21., meshing with the bevel gear 22 mounted on the shaft 23, which latter shaft distributes power to the printing, cutting and paper feeding mechanlsm, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, and now to be described. Mounted on said shaft 23 is the intermittent gear 24 meshing with the intermittent gear 25, mounted on the shaft 26, carrying the gear 27 meshing with the idler gear 30, driving the gear 28 on the shaft 31 and meshing with the gear 29 on the shaft Carried by the shaft 31 is the paper Afeed roll 33, and carried by the sha'ftt 32 is the feed roll 34, Figs. 5 and 9, while paper from the roll 36, carried by the bracket 37, is forced by said rolls into position to be cut into suitable lengths and to have a suitable legend printed thereon by mechanism, as will now appear. A screw tensioning means 35 for adjusting the feed roll 34 is provided, as shown in said figures; while the mechanism for cutting the strips of paper 36 into suitable 'lengths is operated by the intermittent gear 38, also mounted on the shaft 23, which drives the small intermittent gear 39 mounted on the stud 40 which likewise carries the gear 41 meshing with the gear 42, mounted on the outer end of shaft 43, see'Figs. 1 and 5. In order that the operation of printing on the tube may be inexpensively carried out, the tube forming mechanism is provided with a printing means as will now appear. Carried on the inner end of the shaft 43 is a. disk 44 which is provided with a crank pin 45. This crank pin, Figs. 5, 9 and 10, through the connecting rod 46 reciprocates the printing frame 47. The said printing frame 47 is preferably of the shape and construction shown in Figs. 9, 10, 11,-12 and 13, and slides to and from the paper 36 between the guides 48, which are mpunted on the cross
